Agribusiness Attorneys


Agribusiness attorneys work with clients in the agribusiness and food systems industries. At Shook, Hardy & Bacon L.L.P. (SHB), our agribusiness attorneys have extensive experience in a wide variety of legal matters.

Headquartered in the Midwest with offices throughout the United States and in Europe, our agribusiness attorneys assist clients with complex litigation, corporate transactions, electronic discovery, environmental challenges, food safety concerns, insurance and recoupment, intellectual property issues, and labor and employment matters. This practice focuses on integrated issues management involving preventive measures, internal auditing, public relations strategies and tort reform initiatives. Our agribusiness attorneys also provide expertise on corporate compliance, internal and external education programs, document retention and technology solutions, and crisis management. With agribusiness attorneys who understand the complex challenges faced by today?s agricultural sector, our clients can expect appropriate risk-sharing, early case assessment and cost-effective, creative arrangements tailored to their individual needs.

The SHB agribusiness attorneys supplement these services with a continued engagement in the legal, technical and cultural events surrounding food production today. We are committed to analyzing industry trends and reporting to clients on relevant legislative and regulatory developments, activist statements, media coverage, and scientific literature. Our agribusiness attorneys routinely work with the firm?s research analysts, who hold advanced degrees in agriculture, biology and genetics, to formulate defense theories, evaluate scientific and technical issues, and identify and prepare witnesses.

While nearly 30 agribusiness attorneys are on staff at SHB, not all of them are located in the Midwest. The need for an agribusiness attorney in the Midwest is great, but many other parts of the U.S. require legal advice and representation in this area. Regardless of location, our agribusiness attorneys work with each other to ensure our clients receive the best legal care in the industry.
